I left Ubuntu when they sent all my dock search history to Amazon. But this time is different, should I leave Fedora considering how much it is developed by Red Hat?

I’ve actively defended this distribution and Red Hat for many years now and I’m deep in their technology but I want to avoid being a Devil’s Advocate.

EDIT: I decided to give it some more time, I’ll stay on Kinoite for now, if Red Hat’s IBMfication reaches Fedora, I’ll switch to Debian assuming we don’t have a high quality immutable replacement by then. I’ve been on /r/opensuse and read rbrownsuse’s posts enough times to know MicroOS KDE is NOT a good suggestion, their rebranding doesn’t clean up their history.

    You don’t need to leave Fedora.

    RH will just cut them out soon enough, if you believe the trends.

    Best have a plan to move on FROM them, though. Look into parallel porting to PCLinuxOS for now, as it’s a VERY similar maintenance routine, and it has a very wide app support window. Their unattended install (ie packer for vagrant or ovirt) is absolute ass, but that’s their achilles heel. Ultimately, that may not be a problem for you.

    I’d direct you to the PCL/OS lemmy sub, but I think there is none yet.
